Businessman and social commentator Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has issued a formal legal warning and petitioned the Inspector-General of Police after a woman known as Queen of Abuja (also identified as Alexandria or Alexandra Alexander) accused him on social media of rape and torture.
In a series of posts on Threads on Sunday, November 8, 2026, the woman claimed that Fayose raped and tortured her and her three-year-old son from May 2026 onward. She asserted that she possessed evidence and threatened further disclosures.
One of the posts stated: “Isaac Fayosee u must face the consequences of ur crimes against me u will be arrested. I have all my evidence. U raped me, tortured me and my son who is just 3 years old from may till date.”
Fayose’s lawyers responded with a pre-action notice dated November 8, 2026, signed by Nzedebe Chinonso Paul. The notice described the allegations as false, malicious, and defamatory, saying they had damaged his reputation, exposed him to public ridicule, and caused other harm. It demanded that the woman immediately retract the posts, ensure their removal from other platforms and accounts that had shared them, and issue an unreserved apology within three days. Failure to comply, the lawyers warned, would lead to civil action and a petition to authorities for investigation and possible prosecution.
Fayose shared the notice on his Instagram account on Monday and separately petitioned the Inspector-General of Police. In the petition, also dated November 8, his legal team accused the woman of cyberbullying, criminal defamation, blackmail, and victimisation. They requested an investigation and appropriate action. In related comments, Fayose has indicated he views the claims as an attempt to damage him, including references to political motivations in some reports.
The allegations have not been independently verified, and no formal findings or charges related to the woman’s claims have been reported. The woman has not publicly responded to the legal notice in the coverage available at the time of writing.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions around serious online accusations and the legal remedies available under Nigerian law for alleged defamation and related offences. Further developments, including any court filings or police action, are expected to follow the three-day deadline.
Note: This report is based on publicly available statements, the pre-action notice, and contemporaneous media coverage. Allegations of this nature remain unproven unless established through due process.
